I kind of think surge pricing is the best thing happened. Its high time for us to realize trains cant compete to planes on long sectors. IR should actually enhance this idea and altogether change the rajdhani concept. Personally I believe rajdhani should be consisted only of 3A. Whereas shatabdi should be changed to use the 2S-CC combination of Jan shatabdi. Also rajdhani could be made to accommodate sl coaches made in 2a layout for that little extra comfort. This way the middle class get a decent overnight option for large distance journey. Whereas by scrapping of 2A and 1A loss can be reduced. 1A should be absolutely scrapped as its rarely completely filled. This way airline sector can be benefited and trains could accommodate more people with surge pricing. Comments appreciated.

This is not the solution.
This always happen. Duronto were introduced with fare a little less than rajdhani but same services. but then duronto's fare were increased and made equal to rajdhani fare. Both Rajdhani and Duronto concept were hit.
However, Suvidha or Premium concept was a Failure! Equalizing Rajdhani Fare to Suvidha is surely mad thing.
Making Shatabdi fare equal to Gatimaan fare,
...

atleast that could have been acceptable.
What use to happen actually was like this for example take 12951, CK Quota few seats booked, Premium CK no seats booked, and GNWL is low. It is obvious those CK and PRM CK seats would be allotted to GNWL passengers, that's what most people used to do including myself.
I have even travelled in NDLS-BCT Premium Express but paid just Rajdhani fare+41 rs extra thats it.
IR has realized this.
